At The First TV Debate between Trump and Harris, Trump needs to ABSOLUTELY state that if there is any talking at all with Hamas and their Backers Islamist Iran, their 800 Kilograms of Nuclear Enriched Uranium must be removed to the USA along with ALL of the Fluorine Enrichment Centrifuges, or there will be a FULL US/Israel Air-strike the day President Trump takes office in January. Then, watch Kamala Harris fold on this on Live TV. Immigration, Inflation and Iran: Donald Trump is a War Leader, and this is how they come: Conflicted, Insulted, but absolutely RIGHT on Islamist Hamas and Iran and the mortal threat both are to Israel, Europe and The West.
As an economist in Israel who works tirelessly with both the Arab Israeli and Muslim communities, I can hands down say two things:
1. BDS initiatives actually harm Palestinians, Arab Israelis, and the wider Muslim world
2. BDS initiatives are almost always driven by false premises and/or lies, and all of them have complete lack of any knowledge of how the global economy works.
I have started to unpack every single one of these initiatives an post them on Substack. I encourage you to read and share widely (especially with non-Jews)in order to understand how these initiatives actually play out:
I agree with this article. Economics will not cure religious hatred. Remember, the 9-11 attackers on the US came from middle class educated backgrounds.
You are spot on that the motive behind all the venom against Israel, Jews, and the West is driven by pious and devout adherence to chapters in the Quran. The West, in its ethnocentric benightedness fails to see or acknowledge this fact. If anyone need proof of this claim, please read the Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and BDS Charters.
Conclusion? The Palestinians choose disaster, invest in disaster, and deserve disaster. They are the scumbags of the earth whose only contribution to society has been suicide bombings and airplane hijackings. If they would disappear it would be a boon to humanity.
You do not find the average Palestinian in favor of BDS. This is an elitist political program. The average Palestinian likes having jobs. Case in point is Soda Stream. When it was located in Judea and Samaria- in area C of course, BDS forced it to move inside the greenline. It relocated to an area near a bedouin town (of course the BDS idiots protested saying they took away Bedouin land)
The over 90 Palestinians who worked at Sodastream lost their jobs, along with Israeli healthcare. They had been paid the same as Israelis. Some were able to get permits to come work in Israel but over 75% did not. They basically went back into poverty dependent upon the PA for their livelihood and healthcare.
This is just another example of how the Palestinian leadership doesn't actually care about its own peolple.
All the self destructive things the Palestinians do will never change until their is a change in the ideology of hate. That can only happen when Hamas is eradicated and the teachings in the schools and Mosques are changed. Of course, UNRWA can no longer control the curriculum. Until, the right pieces are put into play, the Pal mind will remain polluted and self destructive and nothing will change.
However, What we can do now and need to do now is to greatly improve our PR campaign. Pat, your major point in the arrticle is that BDS harms Palestinians. I could not agree more. The problem is that the message is not loud enough and not getting carried by mainstream news. Why is there a loud voice on their BDS side but a whisper on ours? Why dont we have stickers that say "BDS hurts Palestinian"? That was just an example from a marketing moron (namely me). It seems our leading organizations are all part of "Swamp" and the only thing they do well is beg for money. They have an agenda and really dont listen to outside suggestions. I know because I have tried and the response is usually no response or another request for money. ahimsa papa j
It's a very worthwhile point that BDS harms Palestinian more than Israelis, and unfortunately businesses (such as sodastream, as others have mentioned also) which are helping to improve the situation are often the ones that feel the affect of BDS. Boycotts lead to more animosity and confrontation, not peace.
"Note that these are not only Jewish products and businesses from Judea and Samaria (also known as the West Bank)"
The way the statement reads, it is as if there is an equivalence between the two terms. there is not. The Jordanians rebranded Judea and Samaria as The West Bank. The name change was intended to eliminate any connection of the Jews to their historic ancestral heartland. This label has been further radicalized by media outlets and politicians by denoting it as "The Occupied West Bank," adding a further layer of blame and condemnation.

Nobody likes them except as an idea. None of the neighbors want them

Best outcome anyone reasonable could wish for!
Silence by them on Hindus in Bangladesh, Palestinians innLebanon living in ghettos and restricted to certain occupations, I can go on and on.
100%!
This article hit the nail on the head!
